Art Exhibit: To Be Honest and Dreaming - Photographs by Derek Hayes - Opening Reception
Join us for the opening reception of a solo exhibition showcasing the work of Derek Hayes. The exhibit will be on display from September 3rd through November 5th at Hammond Hall.
About the Artist
Derek Hayes (b. 1977) is an artist working with photography. Born and raised in Ontario, Canada, Derek now calls Maine home.
Artist Statement
There’s a local expression that someone who wasn’t born in Maine is “from away”. I’m “from away” and the notion of seeing from the outside drives my practice. I’m interested in examining themes of isolation and connection and our collective relationship with the passage of time. I value photography as a tool for noticing the familiar and showing its underlying peculiarity. I strive to make images that seem approachable at first glance, where mystery and the uncanny are revealed on closer reading and possibly unanswerable questions are pondered. My vision is rooted in realism, the world as it is offered, but my photographs merge reality with artifice and construction.
Handbuilding with Clay with Ellen Sedgwick
This class will focus on handbuilding techniques and give students the opportunity to
explore different ideas through clay. We will focus on slab work including tiles, plates, and 3-dimensional forms.

pieces. Please bring a towel and personal water bottle (there is no drinking water in the studio) and a work
apron if you would like one. Clay, tools and firing included.

Meetinghouse Theatre Lab presents: Same Time Next Year by Bernard Slade
Meetinghouse Theatre Lab presents: Same Time Next Year by Bernard Slade
A highly acclaimed success on Broadway, running for nearly 1500 performances, receiving many nominations and winning Outstanding New (American) Play in 1975, Bernard Slade’s Same Time, Next Year was praised for its witty script, and ability to blend humor with emotional depth.
Same Time Next Year is a play about a couple, George and Doris, who have a one-night stand in 1951 and decide to meet at the same place, a California inn, every year for the next 25 years. Both are married to other people, but their annual rendezvous becomes a significant part of their lives, allowing them to share their personal and professional lives, and mirroring the changing social and political landscape of the time.
Same Time, Next Year remains one of the most popular romantic comedies of our time and one of the most widely produced plays in the world.
Please join us as Tim Pugliese (George) and Melissa Burkart (Doris) bring this wonderful script to life under the skillful direction of Shari John.

The Acadia Barn Cats - Matinee Performance
The Acadia Barn Cats
A maddeningly eclectic String-Swing-Jazz quartet, the Acadia Barn Cats will hold forth at The Schoodic Arts Festival. They may look like a bluegrass band but when they sail smoothly into classic standards like “Begin the Beguine” “Fascinating Rhythm” and ”Cry Me a River”, you may say “What in tarnation?.” Born in a barn in Brooksville, the Cats are classical violinist Chris Nemeth, vocalist and dobroist (what’s that?) Bob Hipkens, guitar maestro Phil Kell, Bassist Tom Karnofsky with guest violinist and mandolinist, Jim Coffman and guest vocalist and guitarist Sarah Hipkens. They play and sing a book-full of swing jazz and cabaret standards but marble their sets with originals as well as folk, western swing and Latin classics.
